No more. Please, no. No! NO!\" The voice echoed in the dark room before its owner sat up quickly and gasped, panting from the nightmare they had experienced. The realization that they were safe helped to calm down before the tears began to fall, in time for the door to be knocked upon.\n\n\"Kin, are you okay in there?\" Tenchi's voice asked before hearing the shuffling inside and the sound of the door being unlocked from the inside until it opened to reveal her sister standing there in the blue robe she had taken quite a liking to, but the eyes looked like they had sprung a leak and making Tenchi concerned before asking her again. \"You okay, Kin?\"\n\nThe answer came in the form of Kin crying as she threw her arms around Tenchi, hugging her closely, \"I had that nightmare again. I felt so powerless in it. I couldn't do anything to stop him.\" Tenchi softly hushed her sister and patted her back. She knew what she was going through, having gotten over her nightmares of the past. \"There's nothing to worry about, Kin. You are safe here with us now and not back there.\"\n\nKin knew Tenchi was right, but it didn't help to stop her from having nightmares either way. \"I know, big sis. I just cannot control what my dreams and nightmares are.\" Tenchi sighed before she lifted Kin in her arms and carried her to the master bedroom, using her new bladed tail to open the door to see her two wives laying there with groggy looks.\n\nThey both saw Kin and understood everything before they made space in their new bed for the four of them to sleep together. It had become like a ritual whenever Kin had a nightmare and it wasn't a regular occurrence either. Tenchi put Kin down next to Peridot and soon climbed onto the bed and laid herself so Kin could spoon up against her while Peridot formed a cover in front of her and Hildegaard quickly wrapped one of her wings around Tenchi's tail as a safety measure, just in time for the four of them to fall asleep together.\n\nThe next morning, as the sun peaked in through the window, the master bedroom was soon having yawns vibrating the fresh air before Tenchi noticed that Kin was missing, \"Guess it is her turn to feed the wyverns. I will help her.\"\n\nAs she got out of bed, a loud roar could be heard, forcing them to quickly put their clothes on and rush down into the kitchen, where Kin was laying over Varani's lap while getting spanked, prompting Tenchi to ask. \"What happened, Varani?\"\n\nVarani looked up at them, \"Oh, good morning. Your little sister decided to make breakfast, but instead of using butter, she used the last of my tarkoni lard for it. I needed that for today's dinner!\" Varani growled before giving Kin a hard enough spank that she was beginning to cry. \"I am sorry!\"\n\nVarani kept spanking until her arm was grabbed by Tenchi, \"Okay, enough now. She already had a bad night.\" Varani growled, but let Kin stand back up before making her way over to the stove, \"I will make breakfast for everyone. But Kin, you are not allowed to do any cooking.\" Kin lowered her head before leaving the kitchen, just as Tenchi growled at Varani. \"Come on, she was trying to be nice.\" Varani turned around to look at Tenchi, \"I know. But all she could have done was ask me if there was something she could have used instead of butter, that we seem to be lacking.\" All eyes went to Hildegaard, who groaned, \"Why is everyone looking at me?\"\n\nThe breakfast was a rather silent one, as no one talked, but rather let the murrs of delight speak for them. Tenchi did notice that Kin was quickly finishing her meal and leaving, making her look over at Peridot with a sigh. \"I hope that your plan works out, Peri.\" Peridot smiled at her and nodded, \"I am sure of it. I don't think I can be wrong now after all the things I said back in Hu'O'Zevan and exposed the truth about Solan, right?\"\n\nBoth of them looked over at the dragoness sitting and eating her food like an uncultured beast, which was a welcome thing whenever a meal was served. She had come a long way since arriving in Ri'Co'Va, having proven to know a lot about wyverns that even some of the veterans like Varani didn't know. How little they knew she would be playing an essential part in Peridot's plan.\n\nKin had finished feeding Dullahan, Chaldoa's Angelshell wyvern, when she felt someone tugging on her tail gently, turning around to see Arashi standing there, \"Oh, did I miss feeding you? I am sorry, Ara.\" She reached to pat the muzzle on Arashi before feeling how Arashi let her go and turned around to leave, or so it looked, but instead, Arashi wrapped her tail around Kin and lifted her, beginning to walk back to the house, \"What are you doing, silly?\"\n\nArashi didn't answer, as Kin hadn't learned to converse with wyverns yet, but it was made apparent when Arashi put her down near Tenchi, Peridot, and Hildegaard. \"Okay, Arashi kidnapped me after I was done feeding Dullahan, but why am I here?\" Tenchi smiled before around the corner of the house came not only Solan but also Juna, making Kin swallow as Tenchi spoke, \"We decided it was time to teach you three how to ride a wyvern.\"\n\nKin looked confused before Juna asked, \"Why am I then here? I am not a Frostclaw.\" Tenchi looked over at Juna with a smirk on her face, \"Consider it a way to pay back for the little thing Peri helped you with.\" Juna's face got purple from the blushing as she recalled what had happened two weeks ago. Kin was giggling softly before Tenchi growled out and like on command, which kinda was given the tone Tenchi's growl had been, her three Stonescaled wyverns Diamant, Fullera, and Grapha landed in front of them and Tenchi smiled. \"These will be your training mounts.\"\n\nJuna looked at them and soon walked straight up to Fullera and offered her throat, to which the wyvern was quick to lower it and offer its own, to which Juna responded in kind by lowering the muzzle on the wyvern, which Solan repeated with equal success. Kin was however a bit unsure about it and walked up to Diamant, who seemed to pick up on Kin's uncertainty when the throat was offered, but after they both accepted the trust between one another, Diamant gave Kin's cheek a soft nuzzle, catching Tenchi's attention. \"Can you stop worrying for two seconds, sis? You are not going to mess this up.\"\n\nKin knew that, but it was less of messing it up in front of everyone, but rather in front of her. She was trying to find the words before Diamant called her attention back to show that the wing had been lowered for her to climb onto the seat, which she did after apologizing profusely to the wyvern, who just licked her in response.\n\nOnce she was on Diamant's back, Kin felt a chilly wind as Solan was already putting some of her personal practice to the test by forming an ice armor around herself and Grapha, who growled in approval before taking to the air like it was second nature, something Tenchi should have known before Fullera followed after them with Juna in the seat on the back. Diamant was however taking the time Kin needed before taking to the air, quickly catching up to the others.\n\nSolan was proving to be quite a natural at riding even without having a wyvern herself, and Juna's previous experience with riding had proven beneficial as she moved along with every turn that was made. Kin was however not comfortable as she was riding, but rather felt like she was completely out of her element, but things would prove even tougher for them next.\n\nSuddenly out of nowhere, fireballs came flying past them as Tenchi had begun to fling attacks at them, hoping to see them dodge them. Solan and Juna were dodging the incoming spells without much trouble, but Kin was not so lucky and felt the fireballs hitting her and Diamant, \"I am sorry!\" Her apology sounded to the wyvern, who growled at her and soon began to flap the wings faster to catch up with Juna and Solan.\n\nThe fireballs were only the start as a loud growl could be heard and the sight behind them made even Solan worry. Hildegaard was riding on the back of Aramaxx, while her other two wyverns Snowstar and Nightsky followed along before she revealed it was getting worse when Janch joined on Gane and Chaldoa joined on Dullahan, looking like a small fleet trying to catch them, but Janch was the one calling it out. \"Try to dodge and get away from us!\"\n\nThey were panicking as each of them was a very good fighter and even more skilled rider, which was apparent when a snowball flew by them, making Kin laugh gently, \"What? You afraid of a snow...\" Her laughter died in her throat as a compressed blizzard erupted out of the snowball and began to blind Juna and Kin, while Solan was focusing her ice magic to keep the blizzard at bay.\n\nJuna began to dive from the blizzard in hopes to avoid it, but the mistake was soon known when she felt herself lifting off Fullera's back when Nightsky swooped in to catch her, leaving Solan and Kin to fend for themselves until the blizzard stopped and they realized that Juna was out.\n\nLooking behind them, they noticed Janch getting closer to Gane's back, forcing Solan to perform a defensive maneuver to get herself behind the trio, but at the lack of perception from her, Snowstar had soon captured Solan, leaving Grapha to join the other wyverns.\n\nNow Kin was alone against the many opponents, the memory of her nightmare kicking in as she began to shiver while Diamant was growling at her to keep her attention. The sound of flapping wings getting closer before Hildegaard was announcing, \"We got you now!\" Before leaping off Aramaxx's back.\n\nWhat Hildegaard had not expected was for Kin to lift a hand and with a blinding blast of light and quick maneuvering, she had managed to make her miss the mark and fall past, earning her a gasp from all of them as Aramaxx dove to capture her.\n\nKin was wrapping the tail around the reins before turning to face the onslaught, her eyes no longer showing that intimidated little girl, but rather a force of light that could rival Chaldoa's own light, and the voice bellowing out from her muzzle showed truly whose sister she was. \"Knock, knock, bitches! Here comes the sunlight!\"\n\nJanch couldn't avoid smiling at it before she jumped towards Kin and prepared her polearm to strike, which Kin seemed to anticipate as she had a shield of light blocking the impact before she closed one eye and focused light in her open one, \"Solar Flare!\"\n\nThe blinding light dazed Janch, leaving her unable to see what was going on, but once she could see normally again, she noticed that Kin was gone and a loud disapproving growl could be heard as Kin saved Juna, and was now trying to save Solan too, but it only resulted in Snowstar performing a barrel roll to send her off as Juna called out, \"Kin!\"\n\nKin watched as the wyverns slowly became smaller and smaller, sighing before she nodded, \"I have to.\" Aligning herself to dive, Kin placed faith in herself before spreading her wings, the light from the sun growing them to become four times the wingspan, causing Chaldoa to gasp out. \"No way! This cannot be!\"\n\nJanch and Hildegaard watched in awe at Kin's massive wings, even Solan and Juna could see it and soon they were face to face with what could only be seen as an angel and the growl bellowing from her made all wyverns suddenly gathering around her, except for Dullahan.\n\nWithout ceasing the splendor of her wings, Kin landed back on Diamant, noticing that Janch was back on Gane's back, all of them now watching her before the wings folded on her back. \"Shall we continue now?\" The question caught them all off guard before Chaldoa shook her head. \"No, I think that's enough for now.\"\n\nThey all agreed to fly back home, but Chaldoa's mind was elsewhere. \"Tenchi is having wyvern blood in her. Could Kin be having it too? And from an Angelshell?\" She thought to herself before a snowball hit the back of her head, \"Hey! Planet to slowpoke! You are holding up the line!\" Chaldoa looked up and noticed they were already back home. She had not even noticed that they were already back, but Tenchi was already hearing about everything from Hildegaard about the wings and Kin was proudly showing them off, earning her praise from her sister, but also attention from someone who was standing a bit away, blushing a bit. \"I think I can trust myself without my eyes now. I think I finally understand what true love is.\"\n\nThe End.\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Journeys of Time 26: The Golden Experience

She had come a long way since arriving in Ri'Co'Va, having proven to know a lot about wyverns that even some of the veterans like Varani didn't know. How little they knew she would be playing an essential part in Peridot's plan.

Kin had finished feeding Dullahan, Chaldoa's Angelshell wyvern, when she felt someone tugging on her tail gently, turning around to see Arashi standing there, "Oh, did I miss feeding you? I am sorry, Ara." She reached to pat the muzzle on Arashi before feeling how Arashi let her go and turned around to leave, or so it looked, but instead, Arashi wrapped her tail around Kin and lifted her, beginning to walk back to the house, "What are you doing, silly?"

Arashi didn't answer, as Kin hadn't learned to converse with wyverns yet, but it was made apparent when Arashi put her down near Tenchi, Peridot, and Hildegaard. "Okay, Arashi kidnapped me after I was done feeding Dullahan, but why am I here?" Tenchi smiled before around the corner of the house came not only Solan but also Juna, making Kin swallow as Tenchi spoke, "We decided it was time to teach you three how to ride a wyvern."

Kin looked confused before Juna asked, "Why am I then here? I am not a Frostclaw." Tenchi looked over at Juna with a smirk on her face, "Consider it a way to pay back for the little thing Peri helped you with." Juna's face got purple from the blushing as she recalled what had happened two weeks ago.

She was trying to find the words before Diamant called her attention back to show that the wing had been lowered for her to climb onto the seat, which she did after apologizing profusely to the wyvern, who just licked her in response.

Once she was on Diamant's back, Kin felt a chilly wind as Solan was already putting some of her personal practice to the test by forming an ice armor around herself and Grapha, who growled in approval before taking to the air like it was second nature, something Tenchi should have known before Fullera followed after them with Juna in the seat on the back. Diamant was however taking the time Kin needed before taking to the air, quickly catching up to the others.

Solan was proving to be quite a natural at riding even without having a wyvern herself, and Juna's previous experience with riding had proven beneficial as she moved along with every turn that was made. Kin was however not comfortable as she was riding, but rather felt like she was completely out of her element, but things would prove even tougher for them next.

Juna began to dive from the blizzard in hopes to avoid it, but the mistake was soon known when she felt herself lifting off Fullera's back when Nightsky swooped in to catch her, leaving Solan and Kin to fend for themselves until the blizzard stopped and they realized that Juna was out.

Looking behind them, they noticed Janch getting closer to Gane's back, forcing Solan to perform a defensive maneuver to get herself behind the trio, but at the lack of perception from her, Snowstar had soon captured Solan, leaving Grapha to join the other wyverns.

Now Kin was alone against the many opponents, the memory of her nightmare kicking in as she began to shiver while Diamant was growling at her to keep her attention. The sound of flapping wings getting closer before Hildegaard was announcing, "We got you now!" Before leaping off Aramaxx's back.

What Hildegaard had not expected was for Kin to lift a hand and with a blinding blast of light and quick maneuvering, she had managed to make her miss the mark and fall past, earning her a gasp from all of them as Aramaxx dove to capture her.

Kin was wrapping the tail around the reins before turning to face the onslaught, her eyes no longer showing that intimidated little girl, but rather a force of light that could rival Chaldoa's own light, and the voice bellowing out from her muzzle showed truly whose sister she was. "Knock, knock, bitches! Here comes the sunlight!"

Janch couldn't avoid smiling at it before she jumped towards Kin and prepared her polearm to strike, which Kin seemed to anticipate as she had a shield of light blocking the impact before she closed one eye and focused light in her open one, "Solar Flare!"

The blinding light dazed Janch, leaving her unable to see what was going on, but once she could see normally again, she noticed that Kin was gone and a loud disapproving growl could be heard as Kin saved Juna, and was now trying to save Solan too, but it only resulted in Snowstar performing a barrel roll to send her off as Juna called out, "Kin!"

Kin watched as the wyverns slowly became smaller and smaller, sighing before she nodded, "I have to." Aligning herself to dive, Kin placed faith in herself before spreading her wings, the light from the sun growing them to become four times the wingspan, causing Chaldoa to gasp out. "No way! This cannot be!"

Janch and Hildegaard watched in awe at Kin's massive wings, even Solan and Juna could see it and soon they were face to face with what could only be seen as an angel and the growl bellowing from her made all wyverns suddenly gathering around her, except for Dullahan.

Without ceasing the splendor of her wings, Kin landed back on Diamant, noticing that Janch was back on Gane's back, all of them now watching her before the wings folded on her back. "Shall we continue now?" The question caught them all off guard before Chaldoa shook her head. "No, I think that's enough for now."

They all agreed to fly back home, but Chaldoa's mind was elsewhere. "Tenchi is having wyvern blood in her. Could Kin be having it too? And from an Angelshell?" She thought to herself before a snowball hit the back of her head, "Hey! Planet to slowpoke! You are holding up the line!" Chaldoa looked up and noticed they were already back home. She had not even noticed that they were already back, but Tenchi was already hearing about everything from Hildegaard about the wings and Kin was proudly showing them off, earning her praise from her sister, but also attention from someone who was standing a bit away, blushing a bit. "I think I can trust myself without my eyes now. I think I finally understand what true love is."

The End.
